About Stories & Songs

Welcome to Stories and Songs, featuring the work of author and storyteller, Tim Weil, whose travels and adventures over the years have brought him to many interesting places, including some quite far flung corners of the world but, other places that are closer to home.

It is to the reader’s great fortune and delight that he has thought fit to record some of these experiences, by writing them down and sharing them with the world – on this website and also through public performances that he is known to give.

His reactions and unique take on events as they unfold around him, his perspective on what has been learned are always refreshing – a reminder that answers to many of the great mysteries in life reside among the mundane, just waiting to be unearthed!

Edvin Forrest Ward Taboo

As retold by the poet, Jaime De Angelo and published in the Whole Earth Catalog (circa 1976):

Fox was the only living man. There was no earth. The water was everywhere.
"What shall I do,” Fox asked himself.
He began to sing in order to find out. "I would like to meet somebody," Fox said. Then he met Coyote.
"I thought I was going to meet someone," Fox said.
"Where are you going?" Coyote asked.
"I’ve been wandering all over trying to find someone. I was worried there for a while."
"Well it’s better for two people to go together….that’s what they always say."
"OK. But what will we do?"
"I don’t know."
"I got it! Let’s try to make the world."
"And how are we going to do that?"
Coyote asked.
"Sing!" said Fox.
